Peoples Party Unveils 4-Year Plan, Appeals for Support to Elect Bangkok Governor and Councilors

The People's Party unveiled a 4-year plan as the Bangkok Metropolitan Council opened its first working day, submitting bills on construction safety and council transparency to the council. They appealed for voters on 28 June to select the party's orange ballot for both governor and councilors, aiming to secure a majority of councilors and open the door to effective governance.

On 26 June 2026, the People's Party announced a 4-year roadmap for working in the Bangkok Metropolitan Council, outlining key tasks to transform the council into a true representative of the people. They asked the public to elect more than half of the councilors from their party to serve as a crucial mechanism to prevent corruption and fraud, oversee the annual budget of over 100 billion baht for transparency and value, and push local district agendas through to Bangkok ordinances to build a city that better supports its residents. The People's Party's council roadmap includes:

• On the first day the Bangkok Metropolitan Council convenes, submit bills on construction safety and council transparency to the council.
• Within the first 100 days, pass a transparent Bangkok Metropolitan Council ordinance to broadcast ordinary and extraordinary committee meetings live and disclose voting records and attendance, making it easier for the public to monitor council work and budget usage.
• Within six months, pass a construction safety ordinance requiring CCTV and private insurance on all construction sites in Bangkok, whether private, government, or city projects, to monitor construction safety measures and allow affected citizens to claim insurance directly without court proceedings.
• Within six months, pass a building control ordinance to unlock the use of old shophouses, such as converting them into affordable food courts; allow outsourcing of engineers to inspect old buildings for public safety; enhance disaster preparedness drills such as earthquakes and annual fire drills; and require busy commercial buildings like malls and markets to have bus, taxi, and tricycle parking areas to ease street congestion.
• Within six months, pass a transparent budget ordinance for Bangkok, mandating disclosure of project details from budgeting through implementation so the public can easily and quickly verify, preventing overpriced procurement and corruption such as rigged specifications.
• Within one year, pass a public safety ordinance requiring private venues with high foot traffic to install CCTV linked to Bangkok's War Room system to prevent incidents by alerting authorities when identifying wanted criminals, weapons possession, or suspicious behavior in public areas.
• Within one year, pass an ordinance to increase recycling rates from 20% to 35%. Within four years, enforce this ordinance on large buildings and operators, requiring at least four separate waste bins (food scraps, general waste, recyclables, hazardous waste) to encourage source separation, increase recycling, establish clear collection points for electronic, construction waste, and used oil, and implement systems to audit compliance.

Every election is an opportunity for change and lies at your fingertips. Decide what kind of politics you want to govern the annual 100-billion-baht budget from your taxes.

The people of Bangkok have placed their hope and trust in the People's Party during the general election on 8 February. We ask for your support once again to open the door for us to work. Elect People's Party councilors to secure a majority in the council so we can transform the Bangkok council to manage the budget transparently, ensuring every baht is used effectively to solve Bangkok's pressing challenges.

In closing, they said: On 28 June, mark the green ballot for governor for the People's Party, number 10, and the pink ballot for People's Party councilors.
